Clearly, hiring a reliable, experienced probate attorney to handle the process can prove to be invaluable. Unfortunately, all probate attorneys are not equally skilled.

Also, bankruptcy may not be the best option for you as you may not have a viable plan to deal with the arrearage and yet you have no debts other than the mortgage. In this case, a short sale may be the best option for you.
